Ketheric obviously has an American accent, I would hesitate to place it personally because JK Simmons has a remarkable voice (and having been to Michigan, I don't think he sounds like he's from Michigan specifically!).Cohhcarnage, who is from North Carolina, voices a character but I think I missed them.Most of the other characters have British Isles accents, the vast majority being English accents and largely Received Pronunciation, but there are a few Scots, Welsh and Irish ones in there, possibly some other regional ones though I don't think heard any Brummie, Scouse, West Country or the like. Apart from Jaheira and Minsc, the only companion with a non-English accent is Halsin, who has a soft Welsh accent.Minthara, Shadowheart, Astarion and Lae'zel all have pretty posh (upper middle class-ish) Received Pronunciation accents (albeit Lae'zel's heavy use of Gith interjections gives it a different feel), Wyll is sort of in-between, Gale sounds like Richard Ayoade on The IT Crowd, and then yeah Karlach has the most "normal" accent, like, middle-middle or lower-middle class Received Pronunciation with a hint of the regional (in her case, East London).All the PC voices sound English though they vary a bit in implied class. It's a pity there are no Welsh, Scottish, Irish or even strong regional options imho, given there are four of them for femme and masc each.</blockquote>
